Health Mart Stories
Gotta Dance

"My mom loves to dance. In fact, she’s one of the finest dancers in town. So when she was diagnosed with osteoporosis, I thought it was the end of her dancing career. That’s when I paid a visit to our Health Mart pharmacist, Don Forner. He knows us pretty well, and must have known something was wrong by the look on my face.

"Anyway, I told him about mom’s condition and my concern that she’d have to hang up her dancing shoes. Interestingly enough, Don explained that dancing and other forms of exercise were probably some of the best ways to treat osteoporosis. Needless to say, my mom — and the Viennese waltz — have never looked better to me and my family."
